We live very near the County Fairgrounds and the annual County Fair is in full swing. The GoodYear Blimp hovered quite low over our house for a moment while on it's way to the fair. Rosco the Wonderdog gave a few friendly warning barks to make them aware that they were trespassing.﻿

All dogs go to heaven, it is in the bible.In heaven there will be no pain, no suffering, no tears.That means it will be packed with dogs, and the cats and other evil animals will be outside eating their own crap while the dogs all grin and lick their bums for joy :)﻿

“Removing some of the pitfalls of human and animal testing means, theoretically, that drug trials could be conducted faster and their viable results disseminated more quickly.”The end of Animal Testing ????

Not to be a negative nelly, but I doubt that this will produce much of a change in the near future at least. There are legal requirements specifically for animal studies that are codified not only in the FDA but in international research ethics rules. Testing on an organ isn't the same thing as testing on a complete organism, because a lot of the reasons drugs are eliminated has nothing to do with the organ they're targeted toward and everything to do with unwanted side effects elsewhere in the body. This might speed in vitro testing, but it certainly won't change animal testing. ﻿
